✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,826 endorsements and over 31k downloads — clearly a mod people love.
- Adds a simple but immersive touch: your companions actually act like people when you park them somewhere.
- Lightweight and focused — does one thing and does it well, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010 — that's ancient by modding standards, so compatibility with current game versions or DLC is a gamble.
- Only affects waiting behavior — if you wanted deeper companion AI or new interactions, this isn't it.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want their companions to feel less like robots and more like actual wastelanders. If you're tired of your follower just standing there like a statue while you're in a shop or crafting, this mod breathes a little life into those moments. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay overhauls — this is a subtle immersion tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2010, make sure you're using the New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) if required by other mods, but this one likely just needs a simple drop into your Data folder.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean and easily removable.
- Test it with a follower like Boone or Cass — tell them to wait in a populated area like Novac and watch them interact with the environment.
